Police in Barbados have asked for help in their search for a missing American couple last seen heading out to sea on a jet ski on Monday.

The Royal Barbados Police Force said in a statement posted to its Facebook page that 32-year-old Oscar Suarez and Magdalena Devil, 25, were staying in the Caribbean nation on vacation, in the town of St. James.

On Monday afternoon "they rented a Jet Ski from an operator at Holetown Beach and proceeded out to sea and have not been seen since." They were wearing lifejackets, according to the police.
